The Frankfort Capital, a Republican

Hon. V. J. Bryan is expected to attend

Chaunov Depew thinks that $100-000,000

to the newspapers of the

not owned body and breeches by tho

ouht to call public attention day after
day to the lamentable conditions
produced by the anti-silver legislation.
As Henry has ceased to talk
about the hard conditions resulting
from anti-silver legislation tho presumption
is logical that the erstwhile

leaders is now owned "body and
breeches by tho money king or the
gold conspiracy." Jackson Sun.

TnKBE was an alleged interview
with MfTEmuiett Dickson, of Paris,
published in tho Cincinnati Enquirer
some days ago, in which It was said
that Mr. Dickson told tho reporter
that tho National Democratic party
in Kentucky was made up of "old-time
Whigs, home-guards during the
war and Shylocks." Wo do not believe
that Mr. Dickson ever mado that
statement withholding comment until
Mj Dickson has an opportunity to
confirm or deny the accuracy of tho
report, says the Loxington Herald.
"Why a newspaper could nover
live. In Lewis county,1' Ib the heading
of a long article in the Vanceburg
Sun, the point being that the county
ofllcere don't comply with law in advertising.
A suggestion though is to
go ahead and mako tho Sun shine
brightly as it is now doing, and all
will naturally be drawn to the sun.
A paper never could live in Lincoln

Ten years ago it was not considered
respectable to be a Republican iti
Kentucky. Now it isn't really respectable
to be a Republican of tho kind
that is running party affairs hero and
at Washington. They used to call it
tho "nigger party," now the negroes
are about tho only decent ones loft
who afQliato with tho gang headed
by Hunter, Deboo, Todd, Taylor,
Franks, Sapp, Erdman and their
tribe. And the negro suffers in reputation
by tho association. Frankfort
Capital.
Ik tho "National" Democrats expect
to elect Hindman clerk of tho
Court of Appoals, as Wattorson vainly
predicts, it is more than tho candidate
himself believes or anyboby else for
or against him. The Lvbanqn Falcon
says:
"Hindman, tho yellow jacket candidate
for clerk of the Court of
was in Lebanon Saturday nnd
frankly confessed that ho had not
tho slightest hopes of being elcctei'.
Just sol Brother Hindman 's sole
mission Is to try and seduce enough
Democrats from their party allegiance
to enablo the Republicans to win, but
his efforts will prove a dismal failure."
The Louisville Post, one of the
phining lights of the so-called Nat
tonal Democratic party, concedes the
election of S. J. Shackclford,tho Democratic
nominee for the Clerk of the
Court of Appeals, by a plurality of
25,00, and all unbiased people who
make any claim to a knowledge of
the situation agree with it. In a
interview Hon. Z. F. Smith,
of Public Instruction
hays:
I have recently boon through tne
western part of the state, and I believe
Shackelford, the Democratic
nominee for Clerk of tho Court of Appeals,
is safe for a majority of nut
loss than 0,000 or 30,000. The Republicans
will not make anything
like the effort to carry the state that
they did last year. They are disheartened,
disappointed and divided.
Tho action of the Gold Democrats
will help tho regular ticket. If the
Populist candidate for Clerk of tho
Court of Appeals persists in running
ho may possibly draw off 8.000 or 10,-000
votes not more, but even then
Shackelford will get fully 20,000 majority.
Given power under a pledge to reform
the currency in tho interests of
the people tho Republican party has
reformed the tariff in tho interests of
the trusts.
The tariff law already in effect
has been heralded as having been
mado in opposition to the sugar trust.
The lie is given to this claim by tho
rapid and enormous rise in sugar
trust certificates as soon as the conference
report is presented to tho
house. The increased value of these
certificates could have had no other
cause than the contemplated tariff
law Tho pretense that the law was
formed against the wishes and desires
of the sugar trust Is shown to be
false.
The absurdity of tho claim that republican
victory would bring prosperity
is shown by the condition of
the country. Times are bettor to-day
than a year ago for nobody except
the tariff monopolists. Yet tho
administration has been in
power over five months and the election
was nine months no.
Tho Republican party is now on
trial. It will bo convicted of obtaining
power under false pretenses and
bo sentenced to letirc from oiQco at
the first election.
THE CONSUMER PAYS IT.
The Dispatch still thinks that the
consumers pay the protective tariff.
We invite tho Dispatch to specify
some article, tho product of an established
American industry, which
does not sell for less now than, when
the protective tariff was imposed upon
it. Louisville Commercial.
This is easy to answer. Before the
Dlnpley bill was passed the merchants
of Louisville wero selling 20
pounds of sugar to tho dollar. They
are now soiling sixteen to seventeen
pounds of sugar to tho dollar. Sugar
has advanced about one cent per
pound on account of the protective
tariff imposed on refined sugar. Will
the Commercial please tell the people
who consume sugar what foreigner
pays that extra cent per pound for
them ? Louisville Dispatch.

Capt. Prince Succumbs at Last.
After a heroic etruggle, Capt. Prince,
the gentlemen who fell from the Btnnd
here during the Fair, died on Monday
night, after lingering since July 29. His
hotly was shipped to Wheeling, W. Va.,
after services at the Henderson House,
accompanied by Mrs. Prince and daugh
tor, who have been here since the accident.
We were the first to reach the
Captain when he fell, nnd heard him
predict his death with firmness, and
despite tho fact that there was little apparent
reason at the time for such forebodings,
aa he was perfectly rational and
calm, ho had never admitted he would
recover. His physician, Dr. Gibson,
BayB death resulted from a ruptured kidney
and dislocation of the spinal column.
Simply his back was broken by the fall
of eight feet backward upon his head
and shoulders. Tho accident caused
widespread rrgrot, and his stricken
family are assured of the sympathy ol
thi3 community. Deceased was 5-1 years
old, a steamboat man. and leaves a large
fortune.
A Horrible Accident.
Milton Kimbroll, a farmer of
Brookstown, aged 35, met with a peculiar
and terrible accident on Monday
which may cost him his lie
was enroute home with a
of shingles, and whon
going down a rough road two miles
from town the horses took fright, the
lurch throwing Kimbroll astride the
lines which were tied to a bunch of
shingles. He dangled holplossly and
tho wheel ran upon his leg above the
knee, and with his limb under the
wheel tho team dragged him twenty
yards, his leg serving as a "chock" to
the wheel. The team left the wheel
upon Kimbrell's leg, despite which
he was able to tell a little boy accompanying
him to run to town for a
doctor. Some time after two negro
men came along and pulled the
wagon off the man, and he was laid
in the shade to await the arrival of
Dr. Gibson. The latter found the
poor man's leg mashed to a pulp, and
thinks its amputation will be necessary
to save his lifo.

Harrodsburg Democrat.
Editor of The Disp itch in Town.
Hon B. F. Enloo, editor of tho Louisville
Dispatch, enroute to Kostem
Kentucky, paid a visit to Richmond
last Friday and stopped with Hon. J.
B. McCreary, who served in Congress
with Mr. Enloe when tho latter represented
a Tennessee district. Gov. Mc-Creary's
office was thronged with callers
who came to meet the distinguished
visitor, and in the
Enloe took ten. at Gov. Mc-Creary's
home, when n number of
gentlemen called. Col. Enloe Is a tall,
handsome man, in the prime of life,
and is as agreeable in conversation,
as he is entertaining and instructive
in the columns of the Dispatch. He
made a fine impression upon all who
mot him and impressed them as one
eminently fitted to mould public
opinion upon all the vital questions
of the day. Ho, like Watterson, Is a
native of Tennessee, and like hLm has
served with distinction in the Congress
of the United Stites. and daily
combats and confutes the arguments
of the "Star Eyed Goddess" either by
superior .reasoning, patriotism, and
fldolity to Democracy, or by reprinting
Watterson's utterances and writing
of Id-'W showing i.Iie glaring inconsistency
of his position to-day
upon the subject of finance. Thus
out of ids own month is the Dispatch
convicting the distinguished renegate.
Col. Enloo was much pleased with
Richmond and with the support accorded
the new prop9r by Madison
county. He already has a larger number
of readers than the Courier Journal
and only asks that the
Democrats of Kentucky give their
paper proper encouncment to insure
it) permanent success.

"The Great John Robinson nnd
Franklin Bros. Enormous Shows combined"
are announced t appear nt Richmond
In all their vast entirety, on
Friday, August 27, and for one day
only, giving two complete performances,
afternoon and evening. AH of onr exchanges
ppeak in the highest terms of
this great amusement enterprise, and
the manv touch so fre
quently found with large shows, are
made conpicuous by their absence.
There is not a game of chance of any
kind permitted on or around tho
grounds. All the attaches are gentlemen,
and thero ia not a loud or profane
word spoken.
It ia n wonderful sight to pec the wonderful
"horseless carriage" in trial tests
of speed at every performance aud in
the great double parade. The three
rings and elevated stages are all going at
one time, with entirely different acts.
Performers picked from the lest the
world atronls, nnd there is more than
four score of them, whose combined salaries
would more than equal twice over
the entire expenses of the every day
circus The daily free street parade is
one masa of glittering mngnillcence,
"scenes from all nations," numerous
open dens of rare wild beast", twelve
kinds of nuiHic. herds of elephants and
the finest imported horses ever Sfen
with a tented auiuscuient enterpnee.
The jming of tbi?. the world's bij:gt
amusement, is raiifc for a "recal" holiday
in every city it visits, and it it
worth coming a day's travel to see.
